This episode of 614 Headsets features Mike Bath, the current OC/QB coach for Indiana State University. Legendary coach Bill Walsh famously said: “The establishing of your openers is the single most valuable thing that a coach can do as far as the game plan is concerned.” In the Art of Openers, coach Bath shares his expertise on creating a successful opening game script, emphasizing the importance of preparation, quarterback confidence, and leveraging opponent tendencies. This episode also features a special “All Gas” segment on the top quarterbacks from the Elite 11 Regional held in Columbus, OH this past weekend.

In this episode of 614 Headsets, we are joined by Coach Logan Plumley from the University of Indianapolis. Coach Plumley is the CO-DC and secondary coach, and in “From Film to Field” he shares his strategies for game planning and player preparation. The discussion covers key aspects of football coaching such as self-scouting, developing scouting reports, adapting game plans based on opponent analysis, and the importance of not overwhelming players with information.

On this special episode, the hosts of 614 Headsets are joined by a special co-host, Coach Ward from Gahanna Lincoln High School, and Bob Gecewich from Perry High School. Coach Gecewich is fresh off of leading his team to a 16-0 State Championship last season, and also marks his third state championship as a coach. On “Crafting Championships” we discuss the fundamentals of creating a winning culture in high school football, including the importance of inclusivity, resilience, confidence, and teamwork. The episode also covers practical strategies for increasing team numbers, dealing with challenges, building team identity, and the importance of adapting coaching styles.
